This New York Knicks jersey features the signature of Bernard King alongside three significant inscriptions: “HOF 2013,” “81 C-POY,” and “85 Scoring Champ,” commemorating his Hall of Fame induction, 1981 Comeback Player of the Year honor, and 1985 NBA scoring title.
Bernard King became one of the most dominant offensive players of his generation and one of the defining figures in New York Knicks history. At Madison Square Garden, his combination of explosive scoring, physical strength, footwork, and mid-range shooting made him one of the most difficult players in the NBA to defend.
King’s career is particularly remarkable because of his extraordinary comeback from a devastating knee injury. After missing significant time, he returned to elite form and produced one of the greatest individual scoring seasons of the 1980s.
In the 1984–1985 season, King won the NBA scoring title after averaging 32.9 points per game, demonstrating that he had regained his status as one of the league’s premier offensive forces.
The “HOF 2013” inscription commemorates King’s induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, recognizing his exceptional career and lasting influence on the sport.
The “81 C-POY” inscription references his 1981 Comeback Player of the Year honor, adding another important chapter to the story of his resilience and determination.
The “85 Scoring Champ” inscription commemorates his NBA scoring title in 1985, one of the defining achievements of his career.
For collectors, a signed Bernard King Knicks jersey featuring all three inscriptions represents a particularly meaningful piece of basketball memorabilia, combining his New York legacy, Hall of Fame recognition, comeback story, and scoring dominance.
This jersey celebrates Bernard King as an elite scorer, a symbol of resilience, and one of the greatest offensive talents ever to wear the iconic New York Knicks uniform.
